Trauma memes are taking over the internet. Why that can be a good thing.

Trauma memes are taking over the internet, as a way to look at our past with humor and grace.

When Taylor creates these memes, she's digging into her own trauma and using art and humor as a way to communicate that. She says it can feel cathartic to create. But these memes can also be helpful and healing to the audience, Theresa Nguyen, the chief program officer at Mental Health America, told Mashable.

"When a person suffers from trauma or a very sad and painful time in their life, there is something to say about the use of humor both to heal or deflect from the pain, or distract and deflect," Nguyen, a licensed clinical social worker who is also speaking from personal experience, told Mashable. "I use humor as a way to lean into moments of suffering while also using humor to help me feel OK."
